Hi,
here's a new release of the epgsearch plugin. A bit early this time, but there were two
bugs, that had to be fixed.
You can find it here:

wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.7.tgz
2005-09-04: Version 0.9.7
new:
- changes in the events summary now also trigger a timer update
fixes:
- fixed a memory leak in search timers with regular expressions,
thanks to TomG at vdrportal
- fixed channel name display in color buttons when a channel separator
exists, thanks to viking at vdrportal
What is it about?
EPG-Search can be used as a replacement for the default schedules
menu entry. It looks like the standard schedules menu, but adds some
additional functions:
- Commands for EPG entries with 5 built-in commands like 'show repeats',
'create search'. One can add own commands for other needs, like adding a
VDRAdmin auto-timer.
- Add up to 4 user-defined times to 'now' and 'next'
- Searching the EPG: Create reusable queries, which can also be used
as 'search timers'.
- Search timers: Search for broadcasts in the background and add a
timer if one matches (similar to VDRAdmin's auto-timers) or simply
make an annoucement about it via OSD
- Progress bar in 'What's on now' and 'What's on next'
- Shift the time displayed by keypress, e.g. 'What's on now' + 30 minutes
- Start menu can be setup between 'Schedule' or 'What's on now'
- background check for timer conflicts (requires a recent timeline plugin)
- detailed epg menu (summary) allows jumping to the next/previous
event
- support for extended EPG info for search timers
Works only for vdr-1.3.x (x>=7). Tested on 1.3.10 to 1.3.30.
Parts of the sources are based on the repeating-EPG patch
from Gerhard Steiner, who gave me the permission to use them
(thanks for his work!).
Best regards,
